ACT SC Fiber optic attenuator 10 dB

The ACT Fixed Optical Attenuator with optimized ion-doped fiber technology provides consistent fixed attenuation performance for fiber optic networks. This model features SC/UPC connectors and delivers a fixed attenuation of 10 dB to reduce signal strength where required, helping to manage signal levels and prevent distortion in telecommunications and data center environments.

Advantages

The ACT SC 10 dB attenuator offers stable and reproducible attenuation values thanks to ion-doped fiber construction. It is easy to install with standard SC/UPC connectors and designed to minimize additional insertion loss while providing the specified 10 dB reduction. The single-pack format simplifies inventory and deployment.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications networks requiring controlled signal reduction
• Data centers and server rooms to manage optical power levels
• Laboratory and testing setups for repeatable attenuation

Key specifications

• Brand: ACT
• Model / MPN: EA4010
• EAN: 8716065271485
• Connector type: SC/UPC
• Attenuation: 10 dB (fixed)

How to use

Connect the ACT SC 10 dB attenuator inline between two SC/UPC fiber connectors in your optical path. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid contamination and additional loss. The attenuator provides a fixed 10 dB reduction; once installed it does not require adjustment. Use appropriate handling to protect the fiber ends and connector ferrules during installation and removal.

Recommendations

Verify optical power levels before and after installation with a calibrated power meter to confirm the expected 10 dB attenuation. Store the attenuator in a dry, dust-free environment and avoid bending the fiber beyond recommended radius limits to preserve performance.
